The oldest existing Spad in the world faces a younger example in Hangar Troster. This one was Fulco Ruffo di Calabria's aircraft, who scored 20 victories in WW1. There is an imprint on the airframe showing it was manufactured in September 1916. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
